About this day
Today is Shukla Trayodasi — Pradosham, kept for Shiva. Unlike most observances it is tied to an hour rather than a day: the pradosha kala is the roughly hour-and-a-half spanning sunset, which falls at 06:42 PM here.
The tithi runs until 03:09 AM, and the moon is in Purva Bhadrapada, the fire of transformation — asceticism with an edge until 10:33 AM. Abhijit muhurta is 12:43 PM to 01:28 PM. Because the observance is anchored to sunset, its timing moves with your city — the sunset above is the one to use.
The day runs from 07:29 AM to 06:42 PM, 11h 14m of daylight, the yoga is Dhruva and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Tula. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:43 PM and 01:28 PM. All of these are computed for Houston; change the city in the header and they move with it.
Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city. Printed and regional panchangams can differ, and practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
